Sustainability Communication

Identification Of Stakeholders

Stakeholder opinions are an essential foundation for the progress of Getac Group. Apart from real-time communication and responses by each department according to their responsibilities to maintain smooth channels for feedback, the Company convenes all committee members annually, led by the Chairperson of the Sustainable Development Committee, to conduct stakeholder identification based on the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard. In response to the revision of the GRI Standard 2021, the stakeholder identification questionnaire was modified for the year 2022.
The seven major stakeholder categories for 2022 are employees, customers (including dealers), suppliers, shareholders (including investment institutions), media, banks, and government agencies.

Material Topic Identification & Boundary Setting

Getac Group collects significant issues through communication or engagement with stakeholders on an annual basis. These issues are identified through a discernment process to understand the impacts or effects they have on operations, finances, and stakeholders. Based on this, the company formulates its sustainability development plans and goals. It follows the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) management cycle to propose response strategies and continuously improve sustainability practices and performance. In 2022, the company identified a total of 24 sustainability issues, prioritizing those with negative actual impacts. Among them, 4 were classified as directly significant, 9 had negative potential impacts, 5 had positive actual effects, and 6 had positive potential effects.
24 sustainability issues corresponding to 14 GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) material topics and one custom topic. These include 4 environmental topics, 7 social topics, and 4 governance topics. Compared to 2021, in 2022, the company has strengthened its disclosure in the social aspect by adding labor and employment relations, employee diversity and equality, and education and training as significant topics. This emphasizes the company's proactive actions in addressing positive potential impacts and aligning with stakeholder expectations, bringing more positive energy to the company.
